The state attorney general has accused three brothers from Fremont of running an illegal website allowing users to stream bootleg movies and TV shows on computers and phones.

The brothers - Hop Hoang, 26, Tony Hoang, 23, and 20-year-old Huynh Hoang - were arraigned Thursday in Alameda County Superior Court on charges of conspiracy, receiving stolen property and grand theft. They could face up to five years in prison if convicted, said the attorney general's office.

They said the Motion Picture Association of America had, in October 2012, sent a cease-and-desist letter to Tony Hoang for streaming content on two other sites, iphonetvshows.net and movieiphone.net.

The brothers shut down the sites but relaunched under the new Web address, prosecutors said, earning about $150,000 in advertising revenue over 18 months.

The new site has also now been taken down. Hop Hoang pleaded not guilty to the charges Friday, said Nick Pacilio, a spokesman for the attorney general's office. Tony Hoang and Huynh Hoang did not enter pleas.
